Note! A new feature on the Zotero website does away with the need to use this Yahoo! Pipe. RSS feeds are now generated by the Zotero website itself. Read more about it on the Zotero blog.

Last week I posted about a Yahoo Pipes construct that turns a Zotero website library into an RSS feed. As Dan Cohen noted in a twitter response to the posting, the Zotero team is planning to add an RSS capability in a future release of the website, so this pipe will ultimately be usurped by that capability, but in the meantime it is a handy tool. It was my first full-scale foray into creating a Yahoo Pipes construct from scratch, so I thought it would be useful to document how it works (in case I need to do something similar again). You might find this useful, too; especially the part about how to put a pubDate element into the RSS feed.

Earlier this week, the Zotero team released its 1.5 Beta version. Among the much anticipated features is the ability to synchronize citations among computers and with a display at the Zotero website. And if you set the profile permissions on the website, anyone can view your display of citations as well. As Dan Cohen, Director of the Center for History and New Media where Zotero is being created, points out, it is fun to see what others have added to their Zotero library. You might even want to watch what others have saved to their library. That is where this Zotero-to-RSS mashup comes in.
